I enjoy taking technology and forcing it to do things it doesn’t want to do. For instance, I put OS X (version 10.0, BTW) on a 7600 power pc with a sonnet upgrade card. It hated it, but I did it just to make it do something it didn’t like.
Before airport, I forced a power pc 8400 (I think it was) to accept a wireless card. Heh heh, that was fun in a sadistic sort of way.
So you see, although I own several mac laptops (Macbook/macbook pro/powerbook) and mac desktops, I thought it might be fun to put OS X on a PC. I could do it to one of my desktops, but having it run a netbook would be extra fun in my opinion. (Don’t ask me why, it just would be). I am thinking ASUS seashell 1201N, but I have to see if I need a new septic system first. ( Another story, another day.)

Sometimes you need to change the Wifi card for an compatible one, that is about it. But still, even a Macbook Air is in a matter of fact a pain in the neck and that still has 2 GB of memory and a reasonable decent hard disk as well a reasonable processor. I can’t imagine that working on a “hackbook” would be fun in the end it is still rubbish. Just spend a few dollars more on a real notebook and if you like to but a hackintosh OS on it, at least you have some good time using it.

I often skip these features when I see that I’m going to have to page through an unspecified number of pages (waiting for each to load). I’m guessing this one has 8 pages, but most of the time, there is no indication of how long they are.

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:04:22 +0000http://techland.com/?p=20512#comment-6757I have always been interested in trying to stick OS X on one of these things. A buddy of mine claims he did it but I have never seen it run.
Any thoughts?
